17
Q

What is the morphology of HPV genital warts?

A
  1. Hyperkeratotic, firm, exophilic papules 2. 1-2 cm in diameter
18
Q

What are the symptoms associated with HPV genital warts?

A
  1. 75% asymptomatic 2. Itching, pain, burning
19
Q

HPV belongs to what virus family?

A

Papovaviridae

20
Q

Is HPV enveloped or non-enveloped?

A

Non-enveloped

21
Q

What is the HPV genome?

A

dsDNA

22
Q

How is HPV replication linked to tissue differentiation?

A
  1. HPV replicates in basal epithelium, then moves upward during later stages of replication 2. Three dimensional structure is critical for replication
23
Q

Which HPV strains are at high risk for cancer development?

A
  1. 16, 18, 31, 33 2. Mucosal / anogenital class
24
Q

Which HPV strain has the highest prevalence of cervical cancer?

A

HPV-16

25
Q

What is the pathogenesis of HPV-induced cancer?

A

Infected cells leave HPV life cycle and upregulate E6 and E7 by inactivating negative regulator E2

26
Q

What are the roles of E6 and E7 in a cell?

A

E6 inactivates p53, E7 inactivates Rb

27
Q

What is the relationship between E6, E7, and E2?

A

E2 is a negative regulator of E6 and E7

28
Q

What are histological markers for HPV?

A

Hyperkeratosis and koilocytes

29
Q

What are koilocytes?

A

Enlarged keratinocytes that contain irregular hyperchromatic nuclei surrounded by a characteristic halo (seen in HPV pap smears)

30
Q

What laboratory tests are used to diagnose HPV?

A

PCR, pap smear

31
Q

HPV vaccines are made in what medium?

A

Yeast

32
Q

HPV vaccines are prepared from what proteins?

A

Viral capsid proteins

33
Q

Gardasil protects against which HPV strains?

A

6, 11, 16, 18

34
Q

Cervarix protects against which HPV vaccines?

A

16, 18

35
Q

What are the HPV vaccination recommendations for girls?

A

Quadrivalent or bivalent vaccine for all girls 11-12 yo

36
Q

What are the HPV vaccination recommendations for boys?

A

Quadrivalent for all boys 11-12 yo
